Everyone looked at Sun Chuanting, although their expressions were different, but they probably all had the same meaning, and they all admired Sun Chuanting.

After all, in their opinion, this is largely to send them to death. But more often than not, it is not optimistic, or worried, about this trip.

Yuan Ke looked at Sun Chuanting steadily.

Along the way, Yuan Keli certainly understood Sun Chuanting's talent, and he didn't believe that Sun Chuanting was a stupid person to send to death.

Yuan Keli asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Nodding slightly, Sun Chuanting said directly: "The rebels seem to be powerful, but in fact they are just a rabble. The reason why they were able to stir up Yungui in Sichuan was nothing more than that there were few people here, they relied on their familiarity with the terrain, and they had the cooperation of the natives here. If you want to calm them, there is actually nothing too difficult. ”

Seeing Sun Chuanting's confident appearance, Yuan Keli nodded and said, "Then let's do it." ”

After saying this, Yuan Keli turned his head to look at Li Biao and said, "Gather the army and go to Zunyi." ”

Whether it is to lure An Bangyan or to open the passage into Sichuan, Zunyi must take it down.

After getting Yuan Keli's order, Li Biao no longer hesitated.

Although Li Biao still has some ideas and doesn't quite believe Sun Chuanting's judgment, an order is an order, and Yuan Keli is the governor of the southwest, so he must listen.

The army went straight out.

Sun Chuanting took Qi Yuangong's 5,000 people and lined up on one side alone.

While walking, Sun Chuanting looked at Qi Yuangong. He was still very curious about this Qi Jin's son, and he also wanted to talk to him.

It's just that this Qi Yuangong is a stuffy gourd, and he doesn't talk much along the way.

After thinking about it, Sun Chuanting asked without words: "General Qi, this official heard that the method of training soldiers in the Beijing camp was based on Qi Shaobao's art of war back then, but is there such a thing?" ”

Qi Yuangong glanced at Sun Chuanting, he had a good sense of this Sun Shilang.

There are very few civil officials who know military affairs like Sun Shilang, and few civil officials can ride horses and shoot arrows like him. Sun Shilang can even wield a knife, and he is relatively backbone, not afraid of dying in battle.

However, Qi Yuangong himself is not good at dealing with people, and compared with several brothers, Qi Yuanfu is much worse in terms of tongue. So the last time I had the opportunity to go to His Majesty to be the commander of Qianniuwei, it was Qi Yuanfu, not him.

If you use the weapon itself, Qi Yuangong is stronger than Qi Yuanfu.

Now hearing Sun Chuanting's question, Qi Yuangong also had the meaning of talking, so he said with a simple smile: "It's not all the same." I heard my father say that this training in the Beijing camp was to a large extent to cooperate with the new firearms. ”

"Is that the one they're carrying?" Sun Chuanting glanced at the people behind him and asked curiously again.

Qi Yuangong nodded, and said with a little pride: "These are the latest developments and production of the Hundred Institutes of Technology, the quality is very good, and the power is much greater than the original, so many tactics have to be changed." ”

"My father once said that the so-called soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. On the one hand, it is the method of using soldiers, and on the other hand, it is the method of training. When fighting in different places, facing different people, and in light of one's own superiority, we must revise the method of military training. ”

"Of course, it's a technique. In essence, military regulations cannot be changed, that is the way. ”

Glancing at Qi Yuangong, Sun Chuanting nodded approvingly.

He felt that what Qi Jin said was reasonable, worthy of a generation of famous generals, and he could let the Qi family army have a successor after Qi Shaobao went.

Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong were walking and chatting with each other.

Although it is said to be small talk, in fact, Sun Chuanting is understanding the army he leads. He wanted to let Qi Yuangong tell something in this way, so that he could know it in his heart.

Qi Yuangong did not hide it, and told Sun Chuanting everything he knew.

The two of them chatted harmoniously for a while.

The more he talked, the more confident Sun Chuanting became about the next surprise attack on Chongqing. He felt that he would be invincible after leading these 5,000 men and horses into Sichuan. What extravagance, what rebellion, all are local chickens and dog ears.

Sun Chuanting's eyes were very hot when he looked at these five thousand people, these are all treasures! I don't know how many are in the capital!

After returning to the capital, can you also get such a team? At least pull these people to Liaodong and give it a try!

You must know that in the battle of Salhu a few years ago, Sun Chuanting has always kept it in his heart, waiting for an opportunity to be ashamed. Even for many officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty, it was a shame.

The group soon came to the city of Zunyi.

The army is overwhelmed.

Sun Chuanting was at the front, and he took Qi Yuangong to Yuan Keli's side.

Yuan Keli glanced at Zunyi City in front of him, and said in a calm voice: "Are you willing to give it a try?" ”

Although he said so, it seemed that he was asking for opinions, but in fact, he wanted Qi Yuangong and them to try.

This unit is the emperor's, and it was personally sent by His Majesty, although the equipment is very good on the surface, and the quality of the personnel is also very high, but the real combat effectiveness, Yuan Keli really doesn't know

Under such circumstances, these troops should be sent out to attack Chongqing.

Before, whether it was Sun Chuanting or Qi Yuangong, they all looked like they were swearing.

Although Yuan Keli agreed and hoped that they could do a good job, there was some hesitation in his heart.

Then let them try Zunyi City, if they can defeat it, it will naturally be the best.

If you can't even beat this city, then don't go happily, there is no great hope. Honestly follow the steps and play step by step.

Sun Chuanting glanced at Qi Yuangong and asked with a smile, "Can it work?" ”

Regarding Sun Chuanting and Yuan Keli's questions, Qi Yuangong didn't bother to answer them at all.

The siege training itself is a part of the drill, and it is also a very important part, and it is not difficult for Qi Yuangong and them.

He turned his head to look at Zunyi City.

In this kind of small city, the city wall is less than two feet, so it is really not difficult.

Qi Yuangong said: "We have dinner in the city." ”

After saying this, Qi Yuangong turned around and walked not far away, stretched out his hand and began to greet people, preparing to attack Zunyi City.

Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting didn't expect Qi Yuangong to say such a thing.

You must know that along the way, Qi Yuangong is very low-key, never talking nonsense, and gives people the feeling that he is down-to-earth and reliable.

Now why is this starting to talk big?

Although there is still a while before the sun goes down, it is already past noon, which means that Qi Yuangong will take half a day to break through Zunyi City?

Isn't that more difficult?

However, since Qi Yuangong wanted to try, Yuan Keli and the two couldn't say anything, so they could only watch quietly.

Li Biao and Zhang Yanfang were on the other side, and the two of them also had some hesitation.

Li Biao also came to Yuan Keli's front and asked with some hesitation: "My lord, don't you need help?" ”

Shaking his head gently, Yuan Keli sighed and said, "We can help here, but when they enter Sichuan, we can't help." Look at their condition, if not. I'm not going to let them go. ”

"Yes, sir." Li Biao agreed and respectfully stepped aside.

Several people didn't say anything more, their eyes were full of anticipation, and they all turned to Qi Yuangong in front.

At this time, Qi Yuangong began to be arranged two hundred steps away from Zunyi City.

The bows and arrows in the city in this position can't be shot, so Qi Yuangong can arrange them very calmly, and even have some loose meanings, which is clearly provocative.

That means that I have the ability to come out, and I am here, and you will come and beat me!

That arrogance is not good, although no one shouts, but that attitude is a naked provocation.

This is also part of the training, actions are more powerful than words, and provocations are no different.

The small steel cannons that were carried down were lined up, a full hundred and fifty guns.

In addition to the one hundred and fifty small steel cannons, two thousand men and horses lined up in front, divided into three columns, standing two hundred steps away from Zunyi City, quietly watching the rebels at the head of the city, all in black armor, all expressionless.

Qi Yuangong stood in the middle of the team with a waist knife, and there was no expression on his face.

On the other side, not far away, several people of exceptional stature were putting on armor with the help of others.

This armor looks different from other people, it is very heavy, and even the helmet is wearing a visor.

Everyone knew at a glance that this was a proper hoplite.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Keli was stunned. He turned to Sun Chuanting and said, "Do they still have this kind of thing?" Why didn't you see them take it out along the way? ”

"They were all carried on horses, and they were not seen to be dressed." Sun Chuanting said: "It's the first time I've seen it, but I heard Qi Yuangong say before that those who can wear this kind of armor are all first-class warriors in the team." ”

Yuan Keli glanced at the people in armor, they were indeed first-class warriors.

Not to mention anything else, looking at their height is almost seven feet, and even if they are not seven feet, they are more than six feet.

Such a person, not to mention anything else, is scary enough just to stand there, and his strength does not suffer. (Zhou Zhou drooled again: more than six feet less than seven feet, about 1.9 meters, less than two meters, is exactly the height of the boyfriend's strength that can explode.) ）

Sun Chuanting on the side thought for a while and said, "According to Qi Yuangong, these people are all selected from all over the country. 100,000 people in the Beijing camp have been screened, and other places have also received such orders, and all such people have been sent to the capital. ”

According to Qi Yuangong, it was originally planned to form such a team of 10,000 people, but later because there were not enough people, it did not succeed. However, it is said that Qi Jin has not given up yet, and is still searching everywhere, preparing to form a heavy infantry of 10,000 people, as if it is going to be used in Liaodong, but I don't know when it will be completed. ”

Yuan Keli was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Look at the size of those people, such a big guy Qi Jin is actually ready to form 10,000 people?

Look at the armor on their bodies, how much does it cost?

Yuan Keli turned his head to Sun Chuanting and said, "The imperial court has so much money? ”

"It's His Majesty's money." Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, "I also asked Qi Yuangong, the household department didn't give much money, and it was still the same as before." The rest, whether it is equipment, salary, or even their food money, is all from His Majesty's treasury. ”

"It is said that His Majesty's inner treasury is also running out of money, and the money from selling Ruyi bean seeds some time ago was also sent to the household department."

"I heard Qi Yuangong say that His Majesty's life in the palace was very frugal, the construction in the palace was stopped, and His Majesty also moved to Xiyuan to live. Moreover, His Majesty has four dishes and one soup in one meal, and it is absolutely not allowed to be more, and it is never wasted; The clothes on their bodies are only made two sets a season, which can be said to be very frugal, and the money saved is used on them. ”

Listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Yuan Keli said with emotion: "The Ming Dynasty has such an emperor, why worry about the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Li Biao on the side looked at the two of them, and he didn't know what to say.

Why do you pat Your Majesty's ass while chatting?

Is it really good for you two to pat Your Majesty's sycophants and not call us up?

When Li Biao was thinking about how to join the team of sycophants, Qi Yuangong and the others seemed to be almost ready.

I saw dozens of people who had changed into heavy armor, each carrying a big shield in his hand, a knife in the other, and a big backpack behind his back, which looked weird.

They stood in a neat line, facing Zunyi City, and walked slowly past.

As they walked, they struck their shields with the knives in their hands, making a clanging sound and shouting: "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

Hearing them shout like this, Sun Chuanting explained to Yuan Keli: "Their army is called Tiger Roar Battalion, which is the name given by His Majesty. If you look at their flags, they're all black tigers. ”

Yuan Keli glanced at Sun Chuanting and said expressionlessly, "I know." ”

Turning his head in embarrassment, Sun Chuanting looked at the battlefield and directly changed the topic: "What are they going to do like this?" Is it to attract attention? These people can't climb the walls. ”

When the heavy infantry approached a hundred paces, the people at the head of Zunyi City also stood up, and arrows flew towards them like raindrops.

Qi Yuangong, who was standing behind, saw this scene, directly waved the knife in his hand and said, "Release!" ”

His voice was not very loud, but the next moment there was a thunderous thunderbolt.

The flintlock pistols of the two columns of soldiers opened fire on the city.

The sound of banging resounded, and the white smoke of gunpowder instantly enveloped the battlefield.

After the first row of people ran out of bullets, they took a quick and uniform step back. The people in the second row quickly followed, and it was also a bang, bang.

Bullets flew over the city, and the outcrops were directly beaten back. Some people were directly hit by bullets in the head and fell silently on the pass.

Although the accuracy of this batch of flintlock pistols is not high, it cannot stand a large range and cover a wide area.

At the same time, the small steel cannons that had been placed also opened fire.

One hundred and fifteen small steel cannons made a thumping sound, and in an instant they joined together, and the cannonballs smashed into the city as if they didn't want money.

There are solid bullets, flowering bullets, and scattered bullets.

In an instant, there was a scream on the head of the city, and not a single feathered arrow flew out.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting's faces were full of disbelief, and they glanced at each other and said, "This, this is too ......."

I didn't say anything for a long time.

After a while, Yuan Keli muttered: "I have never seen such a rich battle in my life. Old, old, and insightful. ”
